Not every craiglist post or ebay auction requires a thread.

[stewart]

the pickups aren't worth $500 at all.

correct. that's why no one posts the ones about lawnmowers or spatulas or the squier 5w amp on their local cl. i feel this particular post is not necessarily thread worthy, but it is 100% relevant to this site.

Good deal on a kettle and toaster here

so what do pickups of that era go for?

[stewart]

you could probably get mid-late '60s mustang pickups on ebay for about £100 each, perhaps less. '70s ones are usually cheaper, maybe £60-70. they sound almost exactly the same from what i can tell.

Under 100 bucks.

Edit: Stewart beat me to it.

Obviously the only reason to buy vintage p/ups would be to complete a vintage guitar. Otherwise it's just mojo bollocks. You can get pickups hand wound these days for reasonable prices for any kind of sound you want.

thanks.

offer him 1200 for the whole thing.

No, just say, ' Well I can get something similar looking in argos for £100 but since that is so fucked up, I'll give you £30'

See if he'll sell it without the pickups for a $500 discount.

Looks like a refin. I like the white all trashed. Nothing special.
